New Zealand v England - 2nd Test: Day 3

If you remember New Zealand's tour of India in 2016, it wouldn't be hard to recollect BJ Watling as a gritty customer who would place a hefty price on his wicket. And that's been the case for the majority of his career thus far, making the South African born cricketer be known as a tough nut to crack at the crease. Ever since making his Test debut in 2009, the 33-year-old has occupied a crucial suit in the national team, scoring valuable runs down the order.

In the 54 Tests that he has played so far, the wicket-keeper has scored 2837 runs while accounting for a strike rate of 43.66, which is among the least in the current crop of Kiwi players. Also, given that the ICC World Cup in around the corner, Watling will be looking at bettering his scoring rate in the 50-over format as well.
